Mac DeMarco - Another One [2 LPs, Clear & Blue Split Color]

Mac DeMarco released the mini-LP Another One only about a year after the meteorically successful album Salad Days. This eight-track release was conceived and recorded entirely by Mac at his house in Far Rockaway, Queens, and displays the maturity of Mac's progression as a songwriter: a little bit more refined, a little bit more sophisticated than his previous albums, but nonetheless chock-full of the guts and soul of any classic Mac release. The overall feeling of the mini-LP is lost love, or perhaps love never found, a topic that the world never tires of, and one that Mac can move through without it being a dour and somber experience. This limited edition 10 year anniversary pressing collects both Another One and newly remastered Another One Demos on 2 LPs housed in a gatefold jacket and pressed on clear and blue Far Rockaway 50:50 split color vinyl.

The original mini-LP features eight tracks that showcase DeMarco's signature slacker-pop charm and increasingly sophisticated songwriting. Opening with "The Way You'd Love Her," the collection moves through the title track "Another One" and "No Other Heart" before reaching "Just to Put Me Down" and "A Heart Like Hers." "I've Been Waiting for Her" and "Without Me" continue the album's meditation on romantic longing, while the closing instrumental "My House by the Water" provides a contemplative farewell. The second LP presents newly remastered demos including alternate versions of album tracks like "A Heart Like Hers," "Another One," and "No Other Heart," plus previously unreleased material like "At Ron's Bris," "Prem + Prickle," and several other demo recordings that reveal DeMarco's creative process.

This pressing includes a 12 page booklet with new liners written by Mac, and previously unpublished photos from the era by Laura-Lynn Petrick. The clear and blue split vinyl references the Far Rockaway location where the album was created, while the gatefold packaging provides expanded artwork and context. The record leaves you with the same satisfaction as an old Bogart movie: he's still the hero, but he doesn't quite get the girl. This 10th anniversary edition offers both longtime devotees and new listeners the opportunity to experience DeMarco's lo-fi bedroom pop aesthetic in its most intimate form, complete with the rough sketches that became polished gems.
